Caspian 32 Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 So he came up with a good design in CAD. Took it to some manufacturer who makes sturdy plastic products and had them tool up for him. The MD 20 is great and lots of people here have them and love them. Torture tests are impressive. Very impressive. Say ProMag was around first with a $100 drum. Say it was spotty on quality. One guy's works great. One guy's doesn't. Do you really think someone would have tried to make a similar mag and try selling it at triple the price, even if it was vastly superior quality? I doubt it. Maybe at $50 more, sure. But nowhere close to triple. the first part of your quote tells me you've never come close to manufacturing anything. it's nowhere near that simple. if it were, you'd end up a product like Promag puts out with crap quality and spotty reliability. There are some people who would pay for $100 for a drum that only marginally works. i can't argue with you. i don't know why you would pay $100 let alone $10 for something that jams on you, but people do. If a product that comes along for triple the price but is ultra reliable, then the answer is YES, i would rather buy (1) $300 drum that works 100% of the time rather than (3) $100 drums that work marginally. Quite frankly, i am embarrassed at how people are treating Mike. Caspian 2 Link to post Share on other sites
DogMan 2,343 Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 Here are your three choices. DURABLE - RELIABLE - CHEAP. Pick any two. Link to post Share on other sites
Bvamp 604 Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 I agree with Caspian 100%. Besides, this is a promag thread, not an MD arms thread. I explained some points in my previous post, on the page prior to this one. You know when I agree with Caspian, something is "up". All that aside, the one thing I have to say about Mike, is that he literally put his entire LIFE on the line to come out with the drum he sells. And he succeeded. He deserves each and every dollar then and now, for what he did. Hell, he deserves 200k just in blood money for what Im sure his woman reacted like while he was starting off with this whole affair... oh....while Im on the subject of Mike. He wasnt the one who let the public know that he put his house on a 2nd mortgage and sold his tree business (and livelihood) to get this done. it was his competition. If this had failed on Mike, he woulda been homeless. Thats a hell of a price to front for a "hope it will sell". Mike, kudos to you....you did it. now back to the topic at hand....the PROMAGS.... 1 Link to post Share on other sites
voonman 133 Posted February 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 (edited) Man.. I really stirred up some shit here Edited February 13, 2010 by voonman Link to post Share on other sites
Crusader 64 Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 I agree with Mike, these look cheaply made, but in this market as I have found out, most people don't give two shit's about great product, they're just looking for cheap crap! I'll take my MD/Chaos over Promag/UTG any day of the week.... +1. Link to post Share on other sites
22_Shooter 1,560 Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 Man.. I really stirred up some shit here Hey, a 5-page thread with differing opinions........that hasn't ended up in personal insults and shit talk and immediately having the thread thrown into Fight Club? That's damn good for this forum. You didn't stir anything, IMO. People are remaining civil. That's a good thing, and unfortunately, a rarity around here lately. (For the record, none of my posts in this thread are to deter anyone from picking up and trying this drum out. I was just stating my personal opinions on the matter, and explaining why I'll never own another Pro Mag product again. If you buy it, and it works beautifully, then more power to you. But I'll be hitting up MD Arms for my S12 drum needs when I get out of NY.) Link to post Share on other sites
evildog 20 Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 I'll wait for the double stack mags from Mike. I had 2 drums, traded one for some cool stuff but i'll keep getting Mike's products. He is a supporter of this forum and i'll be looking at Chaos drums also as he is a supporter of this site. As soon as i get some more cash together i'll be getting more drums from both. Both you guys keep up the good work. Link to post Share on other sites
IndyArms 10,186 Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 WOW... That was 35 minutes of my life I will NEVER have back... Its all I can do to keep from locking this thread because it is totally unproductive... But yall have at it... Link to post Share on other sites
Crusader 64 Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 (edited) What we really need is a 3in magnum MD drum for those of us shooters that are well endowed to go with the regular one. Mike can call the magnum drum "Extra strenght." I bet that 90% of this forum would own both drums if Mike was to creat a magnum one. As for promag drums, I am done talking about it.
